Amanda Owen Shares Life on the Farm After “Dismal” Weather Spell
Weather Challenges at Ravenseat Farm
Amanda Owen has given fans an honest update on life at Ravenseat Farm, admitting that recent weather conditions have made daily work more difficult than usual. Posting on social media, the Our Yorkshire Farm star described the past few days as “dismal” and acknowledged the challenge of keeping spirits up when conditions turn bleak.
Sharing photos of herself out in the fields with her sheep, Amanda reflected on how the wind and rain had taken their toll, joking that such days make staying indoors feel like the more sensible option.
Supportive Messages From Fans
Despite the gloomy conditions, Amanda’s followers were quick to respond with words of encouragement. Many praised her resilience and commitment, with one supporter calling her “the beating heart of the Ravenseat universe.” Others highlighted the strength it takes to keep the farm running regardless of the weather, while several simply admired her positivity.
The response underlined the strong connection Amanda has built with viewers over the years, many of whom continue to follow her farming journey closely.
Life Beyond Our Yorkshire Farm
Amanda rose to prominence through Channel 5’s Our Yorkshire Farm, which first aired in 2018 and followed her life with former partner Clive Owen and their nine children in the remote Upper Swaledale area of the Yorkshire Dales. The series offered an intimate look at the realities of hill farming, family life, and seasonal pressures.
Following the show’s success, Channel 4 commissioned Our Farm Next Door, focusing on the family’s efforts to restore a nearby derelict building while continuing their work at Ravenseat.
Amanda’s View on the New Series
Speaking previously about Our Farm Next Door, Amanda explained that the programme does not fit neatly into any single genre. She described it as a mix of countryside life, animals, family relationships, history, and character, stressing that it is not designed to follow a traditional television formula.
Rather than telling viewers what to take from it, she encouraged audiences to watch and decide for themselves what resonates most.
Carrying On Through Difficult Days
While the recent weather has added to the demands of farm life, Amanda’s update reflects a familiar reality for rural communities: adapting, persevering, and carrying on despite setbacks. For her followers, the message was clear—farming is rarely easy, but it remains deeply rewarding, even on the most challenging days.
